Sorry to post and delete, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't putting you crook.
Not meaning to put a dampner on your bargain but given the above if safety is a concern that model was about the worst car you could buy at the time in terms of safety.
You could always cash in, make a profit and re-invest if it worried you. Otherwise, sweet score!

my first car was a simca 1000 - the only 'safety' thing on it was 2 diagonal seat belts in the front

Can't stay wrapped in this cotton wool forever, perhaps you need to buy a crash helmet and roll cage as well.
I'm sure a 14 year old Hyundai would be better than a 24 year old Japanese or European car for the same money. I think the Hyundai would at least have ABS brakes and a drivers air bag.

The Lantra of that shape gets a 3 star ANCAP rating, about the same as most of the other economy cars of that era.
I'd rather be in a Hyundai after watching those 2 videos.

Oh for gods sake ( I was gonna say FFS but apparently you get into trouble for that so I won't) It's a 1998 $300 car for the boys to learn to drive in. ANCAP!Airbags!ABS!I'm sure the twins are just happy to have a car.Good score attitudedesignz.

Im just hoping his boys have girlfriends already . They may have trouble attracting, or keeping tail in a 98 Lantra.

Ill assume thats a joke. But any woman who judges a man by his car is not worth keeping anyway.Mind you if said car was a rollingrubbish pit Id judge that but I think you know what I mean.
